Black Friday Open Source Deals
Black Friday deals on open-source and self-hosted software: paid cloud plans and pro licences for open-source analytics, social media, email and developer tools. Products on the page right now include Proton VPN, Postiz, Aikeedo, Cap and HTTP Toolkit.
Open-source software is free to self-host, so deals apply to the paid parts: hosted cloud plans, pro editions and support. Black Friday discounts usually cover an annual cloud plan or a pro licence, and some projects sell a lifetime licence. Proton VPN’s confirmed offer is a discount on a two-year plan, which is a common way VPN services price long commitments.
How to pick
- Decide whether to self-host or pay for the hosted version. Self-hosting costs time for updates, backups and security.
- Check what the free edition already covers before you pay for a pro licence.
- Look at how active the project is: recent releases, open issues and a clear roadmap.
Deals already confirmed for 2026 are shown first. The rest are last year’s offers until vendors announce their 2026 deals, and each entry switches over by itself when that happens. To hear about new ones as they land, get a deal alert.
